chumbucket's Tales of Adventure: Dragon Security Notice
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 11:51 am
NOTE: I just found this draft of a Tale of Adventure that was never published. I had hoped to get some resolution on the issue at the end first, but don't recall what happened on that! Regardless, it was a good time for all!
I was in Destard, going by the name of Deacon, when I noticed a common sight. Kain Callasomething camping the front of the dungeon with a very large number of dragons in tow. I didn't think too much of it. I brainstormed ways to make that into something exciting, but nothing came to mind.
Boredom set in for Kain as well as for me. He casts a gate to drop off his dragons at the Minoc stables. I follow. We found ourselves just to the north of the stables themselves, just barely within the guard zone. Did I mention that Kain was red?
So there you have it. It isn't safe to be a red tamer in the guard zones even if you think you are alone. Good times were had. Lessons were learned. But the fun didn't stop. For reasons I still do not know, what must have been nearly ALL of Kain's dragons pour out of the stables. This could prove to be a bit more fun.
The call goes out over guildchat: Does anyone have a way of gating tamed dragons? Any enticers? We have one online, and makes his way over. And so begins the fun. Kain keeps coming back to life and dying. Sometimes we kill him. Sometimes the guards take care of him for us. Alas, I later learned he was not taking stat loss.
At one point, I brought in my macer and chased him for miles, but he got away when my mount tired out.
When Kain died originally, he also had a rune and key to his tower. Security, however, was tight.
Eventually, we snagged about ten to fifteen dragons. They were waiting for us in Cove, safe from the prying hands of the red Kain, but not so safe from his pal Col Error. The colonel ran through out gate to find out where we were keeping the dragons, only to find angry dragons on the other side. He died.
A second gate popped up in Cove among our prisoners, but no one came out. I dispelled it. Suspicious, I cast a reveal only to discover Kain--red--in the guard zone--again.
Thinking everything had wrapped up nicely, I wrote them a note expressing our concern for their treatment of these fine beasts and hopped a gate over to the final holding pin to get one last screenshot, but Kain and Col Error showed up and used an exploit (?) to get the dragons to hop out of gates even though there was a wall between the dragons and the gate. Alas, we only claimed one dragon due to the hax. But I am told the internet police are on the case, and the hax will likely be removed (unless they are era accurate!).
